Doesn't show you, is it? We're visiting his dad's family.

The boundaries which divide life from death are at best shadowy and vague.

Who shall say where the one ends and where the other begins?

Edgar Allan Poe

It's another beautiful late August day here in Hampton Roads. High today is

going to be in the upper 80s with a low tonight around 70. Tomorrow going to hit

90. So summer weather definitely sticking around for a little bit longer.

You still have a few more weeks to enjoy the beach.

I hope you're out there right now. But no matter where you are, here's some

great music to keep your party rolling.

Hey,

look who's finally here. Oh, my gosh. Hi.

How did you find this place? Isn't it great? It used to be an old military

and then they started renting out all the houses.

Hi. How are you? Good.

Good.

What do you think of the walls and moat?

At least we're safe from the zombie apocalypse. Yeah,

it's even cooler inside.

Well, guys, here's to our senior year.

Sorry you have to be up here all by yourself on the third floor.

But at least you have your privacy.

Yeah.

Oh, and these beds.

We all have them.

Definitely not the St. Regis.

It's okay.

I'm just grateful to have a place to stay.

You know, Liz, I really appreciate what you're doing for me.

Well, I'm just glad I can help.

How's your mom handling everything?

I think it's finally hit her now that Dad's in jail.

How are you holding up?

I feel ashamed.

I can't believe he would rip off all those people.

Just take their money.

And they trusted him and it was all just a big scam.

Well, that's all over now.

And don't worry about the rent. I have you covered.

You're back at the school where you belong.

Let's just focus on what an awesome time we're going to have this year.

I don't know how much fun it's going to be. I'm going to have to fuck my ass if

I want to get into medical school. Oh my gosh.

You're going to make it.

No, we can do all this later. Come on, let's go to the beach.

I could not wait for this school year to start.

Now we're all back together again.

Fabulous vibe.

I did not miss school.

I'll be glad when it's over.

All those stupid worthless classes.

The class hasn't even started yet, and you're already complaining.

I'm just saying, when this year's over, I never want to see another teacher or

classroom again.

So, how was your summer?

Well, I spent the entire time being dragged around by my dad visiting all

corporate locations.

Oh, you poor baby.

It must have been so horrible to fly around in a G5 and get stuck in a Four

Seasons or a Ritz -Carlton.

All right, all right.

It could have been worse.

Are you still planning on getting your MRS degree?

You got that right.

Must be nice going through life without a care in the world.

Oh, you're one to talk.

I bet Daddy's taking good care of you.

What's that thing you're planning on doing?

Micro -pub?

Micro -brewery.

You should get Will to be your chief beer taster.

He's probably overqualified.

So, Liz said you spent the summer working at a hospital?

Yeah. We're double shifts the whole time.

Gunshot wounds, nasty rashes, cuts, broken bones, you name it. I saw it.

I don't know how you deal with it.

You ever had to cut into someone or take blood?

Not yet.

That stuff doesn't really bother me. What's really bad is the day -to -day

stuff. If I have to mop up vomit or clean out a bedpan ever again, it'll be

too soon.

How's Habitat for Humanity?

Where are you? Where are you from?

Peru or Patagonia?

Paraguay. Oh, that's right. It was amazing.

Probably the most rewarding thing I've ever done.

Even the most basic things like clean water and a roof over our heads, they

don't even have. So when volunteers go down and build them brand new homes, you

can imagine how grateful they are.

Weren't you worried about the conditions down there?

I mean, you could have contracted some like crazy disease, like malaria or

Ebola. Gross.

So, you want to go to medical school, but you can't stand working in a

Is that what you're saying?

Well, okay, I may have exaggerated a little.

Being a doctor is all I've ever wanted to be.

And what about you?

Anything lined up with your dad?

He wants me to start at a branch in Iowa.

Iowa?

Yeah. Wow.

Something about...

starting from the bottom so I can really work my way up to the top, learn the

company inside and out.

Problem is, Catherine doesn't see herself in Iowa.

Yeah, I don't see Catherine in Iowa either.

Well, how was Martha's Vineyard?

Oh, my God, there were so many tourists.

It was the worst I've ever seen.

I told my parents they need to sell their summer place and get something

somewhere else, like the Hamptons.

Well, did you two get to see much of each other?

We saw each other a couple times.

Oh, that's too bad.

I'm surprised we saw Dr.

Jess come back.

Why?

I mean, now that her daddy's in jail, I didn't think she'd be able to afford

tuition.

Well, student loans.

Whatever. I thought she'd be too embarrassed to show her face.

What is that supposed to mean?

I mean, her father stole money from people he didn't know.

Yeah, her father.

Not her.

So, Will starts asking these locals about something. I remember what it was.

guy takes a swing at Will.

But he is so drunk, he completely misses Will. Will hits the guy. He goes down.

We take off as all hell is breaking loose.

Cops start showing up on horses.

Horses? Yes.

The police patrol the oceanfront on horseback.

Yeah.

Next thing you know, there's sirens in the distance.

Complete chaos.

So we leave. It's close to 2 o 'clock. All the bars are closing.

We're heading down the street. We turn the corner. At the end of the block is

the bumper boat place.

It's like bumper cars, but with boats. You're in a shallow pool. You drive

around and hit each other. It's a lot of fun.

Yeah. Anyways, I had this glorious vision of riding a bumper boat in the

So... But the gate's locked, so I have to jump over the fence.

The damn thing's so heavy, I can't pick it up. I have to take the inner tube off

the boat. So I pass the boat part to Will, then I pass the inner tube over.

And again, unfortunately, it's too big to fit in the Jeep. So we cram the boat

part in the back and take off all the way for that.

God, about halfway there, we start hearing sirens, and we are just

cops have seen us. So we pull into a Howard Johnson's parking lot, jump out

the Jeep.

And scatter.

Because that's smart.

So anyways, about a minute later, an ambulance comes flying by. And we're,

know, and God, it wasn't the cops.

So we jump back in the Jeep, head all the way back for the house,

finally unload the boat, and drive all the way back for the inner tube. We put

the inner tube in the Jeep, we look over at the bar, and cops are putting

handcuffs on us. on the poor local will punch.

So did you get the thing in the ocean?

Yes.

But we're drunk.

And not thinking. So, yeah.

So we put this boat in where the waves break.

Will's in it maybe 20 seconds before a wave comes and capsizes him.

We flip the thing back upright. I'm standing on top of it. I'm trying to

it. It's like one of those lawnmower engines, but it's clearly flooded.

I'm standing on the thing, and I'm yanking on the cord. I'm trying to get

retarded. And the cord just snapped.

And I'm just left standing there with this cord in my hand.

It was worth it for at least 20 seconds.

My dream of riding a bumper boat in the ocean was realized.

Good for you.

The next morning, we head down to the beach, and there's this guy from the

bumper boat place.

Yeah, he's just down there waiting with the van. I have no idea how they found

us so quickly, but Will casually walks up to the guy and says,

Someone take your boat? The guy turns and says, Yeah, it happens all the time.

Throws it in the van and takes it.

You guys are cool. We're like, 10 seconds.

All right, Jess, what's your best drunk story?

Oh my gosh, you better not tell that story about the party with those

What the hell was that?

It sounded like it came from the basement.

How did that happen?

When you got the wine earlier, did you leave some out on the edge of the table?

That's a stupid question. Why would I do that?

I don't know. How else did it end up on the floor?

I have no idea. I left it right here in the middle of the table.

Well, I'll go get a mop and clean this up.

I'll help.

I love wasted good wine.

No, that wasn't cheap stuff.

Next time, buy the Cardboard O.

I don't get it.

Hey, Jeff.

How was it?

You know how it is on the first day.

Professors always try to be a hard ass and scare everyone.

Yeah, but you'll be lucky next week if they even notice you're there.

Okay. Here.

Save the seat for you.

So, where's Catherine?

I don't know.

Probably still at class.

So what do you think of this house?

It's okay.

You going out with us tonight?

No, I've got to work.

That's right. We're supposed to come by your place.

Oh, yeah. Liz did say something about that.

Do they make you wear one of those tight little outfits?

Yes, but it helps with the tips.

Well,

I look forward to seeing that.

You're getting an early start.

Pre -game.

Where's Catherine?

She's going to meet us up there later.

Are you sure you can't come?

No, I don't feel so good. And I've got to get through three more chapters.

Well, are you ready?

I'm ready.

Are you sure you trust me with this guy?

Hands off, Will.

I'll be a complete gentleman.

Good. You better.

Just you and me.

Katherine, we talked about this.

Yeah, but I changed my mind.

Look, it was fun over the summer, but we cannot keep doing this.

You don't enjoy it.

Of course I do, just there's no way.

No one's going to catch us.

Look, I'm serious. I'm not doing this.

Oh, really?

I even let you tie me up.

Just think about it.

I'll be completely helpless and totally at your mercy.

Bet Liz doesn't let you do that.

You're a fucking bitch.

Liz? Did you guys have fun tonight?

Liz?

I really needed this run.

Statistics is going to kick my ass this semester.

Don't you have Coddington?

I do.

So what's the problem?

Have some little cleavage and you'll be fine?

How do you think I got through econ last year?

Hey,

you know that silver bracelet I have?

The one with the engraving?

Yeah. We've had it for years. What about it?

Have you seen it? I can't find it.

No, I haven't, but I mean, we can look when we get back.

It's looked everywhere.

I don't know what happened to it.

You think someone could have taken it?

Who would do that?

I mean, if I don't have it and you don't have it, then... Jess

wouldn't do that.

Well, I'm not saying she stole it. I mean, maybe she borrowed it.

Well, what's the difference?

Forget I brought it up.

Well, how am I supposed to forget about it? You just accused my friend of being

a thief.

You're pulling this way out of proportion.

Okay.

Jess has been through a lot this year, but that doesn't mean that she stole

bracelet.

Sorry.

I'll just see you back at the house.

I'll see you guys later.

Don't have too much fun without me.

When are you going to be back?

Wait, I gotta close.

Hey Jess, have you seen my bracelet?

I can't find it.

No, but I'll let you know if I do.

Sure you will.

Drop it, Catherine.

What the hell are you talking about?

Jess took my bracelet.

Why would she do that? Jess didn't do anything.

How do you know? You're not with her every second of the day. Because she's

a thief.

Her father is.

You can be such a bitch sometimes.

All right.

Jesse, come right.

Oh. Well, where are you going?

To find my bracelet.

You can't do this!

Conkern, it's not right!

You know who is right?

Me.

I found my bracelet.

Oh.

Good. Where was it?

In a drawer in your dresser.

You went through my things. So you don't deny you took it? Of course I didn't

take it. Then how did it get there? I don't know. Maybe you put it there.

crazy. Look, I don't know what you're trying to pull, Catherine, but I didn't

take your fucking bracelet. You know, I'm not going to put up with this shit

year. Whatever.

I don't believe Jess took that bracelet.

Then how did it get there?

I don't know.

Jess is under a lot of pressure.

I'm sure the waitressing gig doesn't pay a lot.

Why are you taking Catherine's side?

I'm not taking any... It just doesn't make much sense that Catherine would

it.

call the police on that dirty slut.

You got it back. Just let it go.

Why should I? I mean, who knows what she'll do next?

I tried to stop her, but she just barged into your room.

Seriously, Liz, I have no idea how it got there.

And the only thing I can think of is that she's trying to set me up.

Why would she do that? I don't know. But how else would you explain it?

Ever since I've been here, I've gotten the feeling that she doesn't even want

here. Jess, I know that she doesn't feel that way.

Just talk to her about it.

Everything will be fine.

I'm completely willing to do that. I'm just not so sure that she is.

Nah, man. I stayed awake in Coddington's class.

You need tits to get an A in that one.

I told you.

Catherine.

Okay, I just want to talk about this whole bracelet thing, alright?

I swear that I did not take it.

And I don't want you to think that I did because that is not the type of person

I am.

We're going to be living here together.

We need to figure out a way to get past this.

You can trust me, all right?

I'm not a thief.

Well, I'm glad that's over with.

What?

Thanks, Jess.

I'm sure that Catherine appreciates that apology.

Right?

What apology?

Are you just going to stay mad for the entire year?

No, it just didn't sound like an apology to me.

Oh my gosh, Jess, what's wrong?

Jess, what is it?

There was a woman.

There was a woman right over there.

We searched everywhere. There's no one in the house.

Are you sure that you saw something?

Yeah. She was right over there.

What did she look like?

She was really pale.

She had long, dark hair.

And she just looked really, really scary.

Looking good, Jeff.

Been out here long?

Yeah, I just wanted to get out of the house.

Yeah. Surprised you aren't with your girlfriend.

Do I sense a little bit of jealousy?

Yeah, you wish.

What could I possibly have to be jealous about?

Oh, by the way, nice joke with the boxes last night. That was hilarious.

What boxes?

The ones that Catherine stacked up in front of my bedroom door.

Someone did what?

I don't know what her problem is. I haven't done anything to her.

Jess, what are you talking about?

She stacked boxes all the way up to the top of my door frame.

Why would she do that?

Obviously, she's trying to scare me.

And did it work?

Very funny.

No, it didn't.

Catherine was with me all night.

Maybe it was a ghost.

Um, can you please put a shoulder back?

You working tonight?

I'm not on the schedule, but I could pick up an extra shift.

I really need the money.

This is too bad.

I was hoping to see you later.

Hey.

Hey.

What's up?

Just chillin'. Where are you off to?

Just gonna walk around the fort, get some air.

Found some company?

Mm -hmm.

Let's do it.

So when do you take the MCATs?

First one's in January.

You nervous?

Yeah, and there's a lot riding on it for me.

Medical school isn't exactly easy to get into.

Well, what kind of doctor do you want to be?

I want to be a pediatrician.

I like kids, but can I say?

So are you going to go straight to work for your dad's company after graduation?

I don't know. He wants me to, but I'm not really sure.

Why not?

That's been the plan my whole life, but I'm not sure it's what I really want.

Well, the work doesn't interest you?

It's not that. It's just I'd like to think I have some choices I can make for

myself, you know?

Well, what does Catherine think about all of it?

It really doesn't matter.

Why not?

This is about me, not her.

She's a big part of your life, isn't she?

Yeah. Who knows how long that'll last.

You're thinking of breaking up?

We haven't talked about it.

I'm not sure she's the right girl for me.

Besides, there's someone else I've been thinking a lot about lately.

I've been wanting to do that for a while.

I can't do this, Jess.

Why? I'm sorry. Will!

Will!

You and Tripp still going to Outer Banks this weekend?

No. Why not?

I don't know. He just doesn't want to go anymore.

That's weird. Tripp loves that place.

Is everything all right between you guys?

He seems kind of distant lately.

Why do you think that?

I don't know. I mean, he just seems that way.

Maybe he's seeing somebody else.

I can't imagine Tripp doing a thing like that.

It's obvious he loves you.

You think so?

He would never cheat on you.

Really looking forward to going to the Outer Banks this weekend.

Why aren't we going?

Could you just drop it? I mean, what's the big deal?

But you love the beach. It just doesn't make sense that you don't want to go

anymore.

Jesus, Liz, you have a beach a hundred yards from the house. Why do you have to

drive two hours for one?

That's not what I'm talking about. Then what is it?

I just thought it would be nice for us to get away.

The two of us.

Liz, I just don't feel like it, all right? We'll go some other time, okay?

Sorry. Didn't mean to scare you.

Jesus, Will.

What are you doing up here?

I, uh... I came to talk about it last night.

What about it?

I don't know, Jeff. I just... I feel like we're both moving way too fast.

So you regret it?

Not that.

What is it, then?

I don't know.

I'm with Catherine.

What?

How can you be with Catherine when you were fucking me?

I don't know what to tell you, Jess.

All right, I'm sorry.

Thanks for letting me borrow that book. I just put it in your room. Oh, no

problem. Hey, rent's due in a few days. Are you going to be able to pay on time?

Um, yeah, I'll be able to pay.

I just wasn't sure how your tips were these days.

Um, here you go.

I'll be good.

Did you really need to say that?

Is she going to be able to pay her rent on time every month?

That's what I'm worried about.

Don't worry about it. I've got it covered.

What do you mean you have it covered?

I'm paying for Jess' part of the rent.

You're doing what?

I'm paying her rent.

She can't afford it, especially not after what happened to her dad.

How is that your problem?

I grew up with Jess. She's like a sister to me.

She can't help it that her dad screwed up. She shouldn't have to pay for it.

So we should have to pay for it?

I'm sorry, how are you paying for it? Why does she even have to live here?

We should split the rent four ways and we'll all have more room. Just relax.

There's plenty of room in this house.

Okay, they're taking me around.

There's nobody up there.

Just to be sure, do you mind checking the rest of the house?

Sure.

Come on, Jeff. Let's get you back to your room, okay?

Damn it.

Shit. No.

I'm worried about you. Are you sure that you're okay?

I'll be fine. I'm just tired from school and from work and everything.

Well, maybe you need to cut back on your work hours.

You need more sleep.

I'll be fine.

Have you talked to your dad lately? I mean, did he say something to upset you?

No, I haven't talked to him at all.

I just love it.

I'll be okay.

You know, there are people you can talk to.

I went to them when I was younger, and it... It really did help.

Jess, what's wrong?

You've been through a lot lately.

But it's going to get easier.

I promise.

I

swear

that girl is doing this for attention.

She thinks she's making this up.

What about the marks on her arm?

She could have done that herself.

Why would she do that? Because she's a lunatic.

She shouldn't even be living in this house.

You know, if Liz wasn't paying her rent, we wouldn't have to deal with her

bullshit.

Why do you have it in for her so bad?

Who cares if Liz is paying her rent? It's not money out of our pocket.

You know, I don't even know why I'm bothering talking to you about this.

I know you like her.

What are you talking about? I just feel bad for her.

Can we talk to your dad?

No.

Not yet.

But I will.

I don't want to live in bumfuck Iowa either.

It wouldn't be good for us.

I've got to get to class.

You sure I can't convince you?

I can't miss this one.

Okay. See ya.

We'll continue this later.

Major Edward Peterson.

4 ,004 Bayshore Drive.

May I help you?

May I speak with Major Edward Peterson?

What's this about?

Did you used to live at 145 Jefferson Avenue?

When did you come in?

So you moved in with some of your friends?

Yeah, it's, uh...

It's our senior year.

How long have you been there?

Just a few weeks.

I assume you didn't come all this way just to bring me my mail.

I was wondering if it would be all right if I asked you and your husband a few

questions.

My husband's not here.

Will he be back later?

No.

He passed away.

I'm so sorry. I had no idea.

I won't disturb you anymore. You're here about the house, aren't you?

When did it start?

What do you mean?

Have you noticed strange things happening?

I've heard noises.

At first, I thought that it was just my imagination.

But now I'm not so sure.

Well, for the first few months, things were great.

We loved the house. We loved the views.

A block away from the beach.

Seemed like the perfect place to live.

Until things started to change.

What happened?

We started hearing noises. Things like footsteps.

And then other things happened.

Doors opening and closing by themselves.

Things starting to get moved.

I put something down and the next day it would be in another room.

Eddie used to think I was remembering wrong.

But I knew where I put those things.

We started arguing over stupid stuff.

We'd never yelled at each other like that before.

Did you ever see anything?

Like what?

A woman.

A woman that wasn't supposed to be there.

I never saw her.

But Eddie did.

Did he say what she looked like?

He said she had dark hair and she wore a white dress.

Actually, I didn't believe him at first.

I actually thought he was having an affair, but the more things happened,

more I sensed there was something in that house.

Did you ever find out who she was?

I know exactly who she is.

Was?

Her name was Mary Morgan.

And Eddie became obsessed with...

everything that was going on, and he started researching the history of not

the house but the fort.

There are a lot of ghost stories there.

But once it out, they called her the woman in white.

She was married to an army colonel, and the story goes that he came home

and found his wife in bed with her young lover.

And he killed them both.

And then he killed himself.

They say he still haunts the book.

How did you get rid of her?

We didn't.

Eddie killed himself in that house.

And I haven't been there since.

The best thing that you can do is get your friends and leave that place.

Jeff?

Has anybody seen Jeff?

Maybe she's at work.

She's probably off going to the bartender.

What is your problem, Katherine?

She doesn't belong here.

Maybe you're the one who doesn't belong here.

At least I can pay my own way.

Chip, can you go please get us some more wine?

Need me to do it, bud?

Wouldn't want you to have another basement injury.

I wouldn't have if you had cleaned up the broken bottles right the first time.

Hey, that floor was clean.

Then how did you miss that huge piece of glass?

Jeff?

Jess? Jess, what's wrong with you?

Jess, come back inside.

Jess?

Ma

'am,

what time did he leave the house?

and he was just gone when I woke up.

Did any one of you see or hear him leave the house last night?

No, we didn't hear anything.

Okay.

Did any of you notice him ever leave the house at night at any time?

No, he never left at night.

Well, ma 'am, we did find the place where he fell. It's right across the

right up on the wall.

I don't know why he would have been there.

Well, we did check all the windows and doors, and we found no source of forced

entry.

Has there been anyone here recently, any strange people in or around the house?

No, I haven't seen anybody.

Well, ma 'am, it's really too soon to tell.

He probably slipped.

We've seen no signs of struggle at all.

Ma 'am, I'm so sorry for your loss.

We may need you to come down to the station a little later today to sign

paperwork.

I don't know why he would have been up there. It doesn't make any sense.

Where were you yesterday?

I was at the library.

All day?

I had me taken out of the house, and I had a bunch of homework to catch up on.

I don't know what I'm going to do.

I thought we were going to spend the rest of our lives together.

I better get ready to go to the police station.

I'll go with you.

Uh, yeah.

May I come in?

Uh -huh.

I, uh, just came up to check on you.

Seemed pretty shaken up when the police were here earlier.

Uh, I'm really worried about Liz.

I don't know what to do to help her.

Um, there's really not much you can do.

There's something weird going on in this house, and I can't explain it.

Tripp's gone.

I'm seeing and hearing things.

I don't even know what's real and what's not real anymore.

I don't even know who I can turn to for help. I always go to Liz.

And how can I even do that now?

You can talk to me.

We can't do this, Jess.

I just came up here to see if you're alright.

Are you sure that's all you came up here for?

We can't do this.

Why not?

You didn't have any problem fucking me in the tunnel? Because you just told me

you were going through all this stuff right now. Let's just focus on helping

get better.

That's a bullshit cop -out.

I thought you had the balls to finish what you started.

How can you just walk away from me? What kind of man are you?

You know what? I'll talk to you later, Jess.

Oh, you can forget it, asshole!

You had your chance!

And next time you're fucking that bitch downstairs, don't think of me!

Hey.

Hey.

How you doing?

It's been a rough day for everyone.

Yeah.

That's the understatement of the year.

Come on.

Let's go and fight.

It really shows you how short life is.

Yeah.

I'm going to talk to my dad.

I need to do what's best for us.

You're the most important person to me.

You're all that matters.

I just still can't believe he's really gone.

He'll be alright.

We'll get through this.

How do you get past something like this?

Maybe it's time we get a place of our own.

Yeah. That would probably be best.

He was fucking me just a few days ago.

Okay, Mom, I just got back from the PlayStation.

Yeah, I'm meeting Tripp's parents tomorrow at the funeral home.

Okay, I'll let them know.

I love you too.

Bye.

Jeff?

Catherine, can you come with me to... Oh!

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Chess?

Trip, Catherine, Will, they're all in for now, Liz.

And it's time for you to join them.
